I was replacing my passenger side axle and tranny gasket and this spring came out of the hole. Really nothing wrong with the transmission either but a small leak from that gasket, but I think its because its not pushed in all the way.

 

that looks like the sping in the seal to me

 

You need that spring because it's what makes the seal do it's job sealing.
Is the spring from your new seal or the old one?

 

Sorry to revive this old thread. Cars been outta commission now its back to trying to fix this. I replaced the rubber axle seal you can pick up from autozone. I got one for an ls I believe:
Need help asap. Would be greatly appreciated need to do some delivery driving.

Thanks so much

 

Anybody? I was told by a friend that the spring came from the axle seal. Anybody got a pn from Honda?

 

The spring is part of the axle seal. It's tucked behind the lip of the seal facing inside the transmission. People tend to jack them up when installing axles. If the spring in your pic is from your new seal, you need to pop the seal out and go buy another one. The seal when properly installed should sit flush with the case of the transmission.

 

Thanks what I needed to hear. Thank you very much sir

I thought it was a huge spring..
